Ooh this is just a rumour but Red might be Ash's older brother, you can see the resemblance between the both of them. Anyways, as Red started his adventures beating team rocket and going up Mt. Silver. Technically Ash looked up to Red, and wanted to be the very best trainer. Red knew Ash was turning 10 so knowing Ash was going to be late, he sent his OVERPOWERED Pikachu to Professor Oak. And so on if you seen the anime, this may be the reason for Pikachu disliking Ash at the start of the anime.

I guess being able to hit ground types with electric type attacks is pretty special and it's fairly strong. But really, if team rocket tried to steal other pokemon and not follow ash just to get ptkachu then they'd have more luck. Really, pikachu is just an above average pikachu with nothing else outstanding about it. Although it does do very good impressions!

There is absolutely nothing special at all about ash's/Satoshi's Pikachu, o__o why would you consider the Gym Battle against Brock Onix and Ash Pikachu a win or even a battle e.e the whole thing was a fluke, If I were Brock I would of asked for a re match since using the sprinklers against onix was a cheap and dirty trick and by no means a fair battle.

e.e how is it that Onix being a rock type even with the sprinkles soaking Onix wet make any damage to Onix its a darn Rock type...Point is Ash's Pikachu and sometimes e.e not all the time ash pulls unfair and dirty tricks such as what happened with Onix, even Raichu and Magmar almost killed it.

another Fluke of a battle e.e Pikachu vs Rhydon.

Not to mention lol Team Rocket were the weakest Trainers ever.

Edit:

@Affection Ash(ash was second) was based after Trainer Red(Red was first) so in no way are the two related, Ash Pikachu and Red's Pikachu are totally different Pokemons. Same goes for Gary which was based also after Green from the Pokemon Red and Blue Gameboy Games.

You act like Ash considered it fair play and demanded a Badge. Ash was actually the first one to say he only won because of the sprinklers, that it was a lucky advantage and that he didn't deserve the Badge until he could win fair and square.

He refused the Badge because he acknowledged it wasn't a fair victory, Brock was the one to insist he earned it through his kindness to Pokémon (not because of his victory over Onix).

Rock-type is actually damaged by Electric-type. Ground-type is immune. Just to be clear.

Considering they were on a poster labelled as "Most Wanted Criminals" back in Viridian, I'd say they had a considerable amount of success before meeting Ash and Pikachu, so they can't be the weakest Trainers ever.

My point was that Red's Pika and Ash's Pikachu are totally diferrent Pokemons, as well as

both being in completelly different universe.

There was one ep where ash was rubbing in his Gym badges saying how he won them etc etc..
when misty came and said how he didn't won them but they were given to him instead of earning them.

1) He appeared in the first episode.
2) Got his *** kicked by a new starter Pokemon.
3) Loves Ketchup, hence Ash's last name being almost the same to it.
4) Took himself out while taking a Latios alongside.
5) He's Pikachu!

And my point being everyone always brings up pikachu being cheap or god mode or whatever because he beat rydon and onix,yet what pika did was much worse and made much less sense and everyone loves him.

There's a certain vocal minority of the fandom that loves Special and hates on the anime and gladly ignores logic in the process. I wouldn't worry about them if I were you.

98% of the teenage population has died smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy & paste this in your signature.
Good old natural selection...

A smart, strong pikachu, that can take quite a few attacks, and dish out really strong electric attacks comparitive to any normal pikachu.

That's all I've got. Since its ash's pikachu, its got plot on it's side...but who doesn't like seeing that struggle? Maybe the "plot armor" is in-reality that "specialness" despite how BS that can be. lolololol /killed xD
